[0029] In this embodiment, the hail collecting platform 7 can provide sufficient rigidity and strength to ensure that it can bear the weight of hail collected within a certain period of time; and the material of the hail collecting platform 7 is carbon fiber with a certain elasticity, thereby ensuring that the potential energy and kinetic energy of the hail falling from a high altitude are gradually absorbed, thereby ensuring that the hail is not broken and slowing down the melting speed of the hail. A certain number and specifications of grids 9 are distributed on the hail collecting platform 7, which ensure that large-diameter hail is retained on the observation surface, while smaller ice particles and rainwater are automatically separated and filtered.

[0030] In the above embodiment, preferably, Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 18 is hinged on the platform frame 15 , and a push rod 14 is installed on the push plate 17 . When the push plate 17 moves, it pushes the baffle 18 open and pushes the hail into the hail collecting channel 13 .

[0031] In this embodiment, after the collecting component completes the task of collecting hail, the chassis 3 on the support rod 4 can control the push plate 17 to automatically move left and right. Through the movement of the push plate 17, the top rod 14 opens the left and right guard plates 9, and the hail on the hail collecting platform 7 enters the weighing component through the hail collecting channel. The chassis 3 controls the weighing component to weigh and return the hail weight data.

[0032] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, the baffle 18 is hinged to both sides of the grille 9 , and the push rod 14 is installed on both sides of the push plate 17 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the grid 9 can separate rainwater from hail, and at the same time, the platform frame 15 can guide the rainwater leaking from the grid 9 in the hail collection platform 7 to the outside of the support frame 8 and prevent it from entering the weighing assembly, thereby ensuring that only hail or melted water from hail exists in the weighing assembly, ensuring the accuracy of the weighing results and facilitating the staff to sample hail.

[0034] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, the hail sensor 6 is installed on the top of the support rod 4, and the camera device 5 is installed on the support rod 4 and aimed at the hail collecting platform 7; after sensing the hail, the hail sensor 6 controls the hail collecting assembly through the main controller in the chassis 3, and controls the camera device 5 to take pictures.

[0035] In this embodiment, when hail triggers the hail sensor 6, the hail sensor 6 sends a signal to the chassis 3; the main controller in the chassis 3 issues an observation instruction to control the camera device 5 to perform the first photo observation; the main controller in the chassis 3 automatically times, and when the first photo observation is completed, the control system issues a translation instruction to the servo motor electric cylinder slide 16 of the hail collection component, pushing out the hail collected on the hail collection platform 7 and dropping it into the weighing component through the hail collection channel 13.

[0036] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, a weighing bracket 10 is installed at the bottom of the platform frame 15 , and the weighing bracket 10 supports a weighing component, and the weighing component is connected to the hail collection channel 13 .

[0037] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, the weighing assembly includes an electronic scale 11 placed on a weighing bracket 10 and a weighing bucket 12 placed on the electronic scale 11, the weighing bucket 12 is provided with a drainage hole, and the bottom of the weighing bracket 10 is provided with a leveling foot.

[0038] In this embodiment, the platform bracket 15 can guide the rainwater leaking from the grille 9 of the hail collection platform 7 to the outside of the support frame 8, and not enter the weighing bucket 12, so as to ensure that only hail or water melted by hail is stored in the weighing bucket 12, ensure the accuracy of the weighing result and facilitate the staff to sample the hail; after the collection component completes the task of collecting hail, the chassis 3 on the support rod 4 can control the push plate 17 to automatically move left and right. Through the movement of the push plate 17, the top rod 14 opens the left and right guard plates 9, and the hail on the hail collection platform 7 enters the weighing bucket 12 through the hail collection channel. The chassis 3 controls the electronic scale 11 to weigh and return the hail weight data.

[0039] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, the hail collection assembly further includes a shield 2 for limiting a collection area and a guard plate 1 for protecting an internal structure, the guard plate 1 is fixed on a support frame 8, and the shield 2 is mounted on the support frame.

[0040] In this embodiment, the shield 2 covers the entire collecting assembly except the collecting platform 7 to provide the required observation surface. The upper surface of the shield 2 is shaped to be inclined outward to prevent rainwater from flowing into the area outside the observation surface. A plurality of shield plates 1 are also installed on the supporting frame 8. The shield plates 1 can be opened so that the staff can take out the required hail samples from the weighing bucket 12.

[0041] In any of the above embodiments, preferably, photosensitive switches (not shown) are respectively provided at the starting position and the end position of the servo motor electric cylinder slide, and the photosensitive switches are used to control the push plate 17 to stop moving or move in the reverse direction after translating into position.

[0042] The working mode of the hail observation automatic collection and weighing device provided by the utility model is:

[0043] 1. When hail triggers the hail sensor 6, the hail sensor 6 sends a signal to the main controller in the chassis 3;

[0044] 2. The main controller issues a command to control the servo motor electric cylinder slide 16 in the hail collection assembly to move to the initial position, and starts timing, while controlling the electronic scale 11 to reset the weight;

[0045] 3. The main controller counts for a period of time and controls the camera device 5 (high-definition camera) to take the first photo observation. When the first photo observation is finished, the main controller sends a translation instruction to the servo motor electric cylinder slide 16, and the servo motor electric cylinder slide 16 drives the push plate 17 and the push rod 14 to translate to the other side (the push rod 14 opens the left and right baffles 18 at the same time), and pushes the hail collected on the hail collection platform 7 out of the platform and enters the weighing bucket 12 through the hail collection channel 13;

[0046] 4. When the servo motor electric cylinder slide 16 moves horizontally past the photosensitive switch at the end point, it stops moving horizontally, and the main controller delays for a few seconds to control the electronic scale 11 to weigh and return the hail weight data. The first hail observation and weighing is completed, and the timing is started at the same time, and the second hail collection begins, and this cycle repeats.

[0047] 5. Until there is no hail to trigger the hail sensor 6, the main controller controls a delay for a period of time and then the system stops working.

[0048] 6. After the hail process is over, the staff can open the guard plate 1 to take out the hail samples.
